PAM 00396 : LUMINOR 1950 TOURBILLON GMT CERAMICA – 48MM
A great speciality of haute horlogerie, the tourbillon regulator has been reinterpreted in a sophisticated and innovative manner in the new Luminor 1950 Tourbillon GMT Ceramica. The Luminor 1950 Tourbillon GMT Ceramica is a watch of great character, offering not only the complex, sophisticated tourbillon regulator mechanism patented by Officine Panerai – with a balance which rotates on its own axis in a period of 30 seconds, thus correcting any possible errors due to the force of gravity – but also the indication of a second time zone and the visual display of the power reserve of six days, achieved by three spring barrels connected in series.
The material of which the Luminor 1950 case (48mm in diameter) has been made also expresses the technical mastery of the Officine Panerai manufacture: it is a synthetic ceramic based on zirconium powder which, by means of a complex series of working and finishing processes, acquires a particularly uniform and even matt black appearance, as well as ensuring excellent performance in terms of hardness, resistance to scratches, corrosive agents and high temperatures.
The black dial has a simple graphic appearance reduced to essentials and is of the classic sandwich structure created in the 1930s by Officine Panerai to achieve the maximum legibility even in conditions of very low light. The small dial at 3 o’clock provides am/pm indication over 24 hours. The small seconds dial, at 9 o’clock, also contains an original indicator, consisting of a series of dot markers, which is connected to the tourbillon and therefore moves at twice the speed of the seconds hand, completing one revolution in 30 seconds.
The 12-sided back with 12 sides in titanium (coated with PVD) has a sapphire crystal window in the centre which enables the P.2005 manufacture movement to be seen. Here Officine Panerai is presenting it for the first time in the P.2005/B version, which has undergone a blackening treatment to create an aesthetic continuity with the matt black of the case. The sapphire crystal also enables the remaining power reserve to be seen, thanks to a golden indicator within an arc-shaped dial.
The Luminor 1950 Tourbillon GMT Ceramica (PAM00396) is supplied with strap of natural untreated leather, closed by an adjustable steel buckle, coated in PVD.
Movement: Hand-wound mechanical with skeletonized bridges, Panerai P.2005/B calibre, executed entirely by Panerai, 16¼ lignes, 9.1mm thick, 31 jewels, Glucydur® balance, 28,800 alternations/hour. KIF Parechoc® anti-shock device. Power reserve 6 days, three barrels. 239 components.
Functions: Hours, minutes, small seconds, second time zone, 24h indicator, power reserve indicator on the back, tourbillon.
Case: Diameter 48 mm, black ceramic.
Bezel: Black ceramic.
Back: See-through sapphire crystal.
Dial: Black, with luminous Arabic numerals and hour markers. 24h indicator at 3 o’clock, seconds and tourbillon indicator at 9 o’clock.
Crystal: Sapphire, formed of corundum, 2 mm thick. Anti-reflective coating.
Water- resistance: 10 bar (100 metres).
Strap: PANERAI personalised leather strap and adjustable steel buckle with special hard black coating. Supplied with a second interchangeable strap and a steel screwdriver.

I love the skeletonization of the P.2002 movement! I hope we see more of this
in future models, especially with the P.9000 watches! Now the P.2000 movement is realllllly sexy now you can see more of it. Is this PAM395 the start of skeletonization for Panerai? I really hope it is! Cheers, Anthony...
It's definitely nice...
...but even if they choose to go with the larger plates for their P.9000 models in steel, I would be okay with that. Panerais have a legitimate tool watch history, and the more robust movement designs are not inappropriate -- as long as the price points d...
Agree
that this is exceptional. I certainly hope to see more on the future models. Would be curious to see if there's any price premium being placed on the skeletonizing of the movement. I guess a comparison between the current list of 289 and 395, once availab...

I second you opinion Anthony
but are they serious 100 watch only?... thats even smaller than to describe it as a small number... Faisal
Agree Anthony , star of the show for me too
But I can only dream for this piece. Cheers,dreamer
my guess is, the crown ...
maybe not screwn in .... which makes it vulnarable, can't see an other weak point on the watch as not to make it 100m waterproof as many others with a plexiglass and a saphir back ...............
What i think first
about a Panerai is that it's a dive watch "from the depths of the sea" .... not from the beach

my favorite
This one is my favorite of the show. 373 is way out of reach and the 2012 SE with this dial will be next to impossible to get. I do hope they leave off the pig though on this one though. Overall it's interesting to see Panerai build out their vintage re-e...

BluNotte...this has to be on your list!
unless you got the 373? I love the 449 and 448. I just need to clarify if this is Boutique only. Hope you are well Stephen!
Of course it is!
Do you know how long i'v been waiting for a 2533 hommage Phil? Since day one with Panerai! I didnt get the 373, would not cause it is not authentic ( As much as i love Platinum, but not for a Panerai, and the brown dial, ewww). Now , this with the blued h...
Mission Impossible
Cant get any better than this DNA... the Queens of the show .in here. Faisal
Yes mate!
What more could we all want? I 'd say a huge applause specifically only for the 449! Stephen
The photo is not representative to what will be this watch.
The dial may well receive a " Maiale "... End of the love story for me. Best, Nicolas
My contact at Panerai told me that it was useless to take pics of the 2 SLCs
Because the dial will receive some " aesthetical " modifications, and, among them, very possibly, a SLC ( Maiale ). Love breaker, isn't it? Best, Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 2012-01-20 13:47:22
Both, from what I have been told in Geneva, at the Panerai Booth
From a lady who knows her job... You imagine my deception... Best, Nicolas
Wow, if true, you have broken a lot of ristis' hearts...
One piggy a year is good enough no?
The means is one thing. The authenticity is another thing.
When 300 to 400 only are not questionnable, and that there are way much more on the market, the authenticity is the issue number one. The means are secondary, IMO. Best, Nicolas
aha...
so the authenticity is an issue which is worse than i expected.... Best Faisal
In my naivety , I thought authenticity was only a problem
with vintage rolex LOl. So if I read you correctly, there are far too many vintage panerai for sale compared to numbers produced ? Thanks. Cheers,dreamer
I don't see it as a problem
I've worked on many vintage Panerai and have a long list of details that allow me to say "authentic" is not a problem to determine. The miracle workers will never replicate the most intricate details or materials. So we can move forward with confidence wh...
I heard the same sentence BUT only for the 2 watches presented
under the external window of the booth. Not for the real 449 presented to Boutique employees. Hope so, Patrickh
here is photo of pre prototype
but this watch will not be the final version. Just for information. Here is a wristshot of the model which is on all official documents LE book, web site ... My favorite this year. PANERAI, please do not change it until launch. Patrickh...
